God would have us consider these things in their sacred importance. It is the privilege of brothers and sisters and parents to co-operate in teaching the children how to drink the gladness of Christ’s life by learning to follow His example. To the older children in these isolated families I will say: It is not necessary that all should drop the home responsibilities to attend our boarding schools, in order to obtain a fitting for service. Remember that right in the home there is a work to do for the Master. In the home there are younger children to be instructed, and thus relieve the mother’s burdens. {CT 159.2}

Gud vi have os til at tænke over disse ting i deres hellige betydning: Det er brødres, søstres og forældres privilegium at samarbejde for at undervise børn, at drikke gladelig af Kristi liv, og lære at følge Hans eksempel. Til de ældre børn i disse isolerede (160) familier, vil jeg sige: Det er ikke nødvendigt at alle skal droppe hjemmepligterne for at gå på vore bredere skoler, for at udrustes til tjeneste. Husk på at netop i hjemmet er der et arbejde at gøre for Mesteren. I hjemmet er der yngre børn der skal instrueres, og derved lindre moderens byrder.
